Home security sensor using 2.4GHz ISM band

Abstract

Delay profile of wideband indoor channel fluctuates for a physical change such as intruder. This paper investigates a human body detection using the wideband radio at 2.4GHz (ISMband) in order to protect a house, not a room, because the radio with high range resolution can penetrate into the inner walls and also the reflected paths from human body are discriminated in time domain. The usefulness is experimentally investigated under a scenario which someone intrudes into a typical house with four rooms and walks around.
